Skill instructions
Debugging and Error Recovery When to Use - Tests fail after a code change - The build breaks unexpectedly - Runtime behavior does not match expectations - An error appears in logs or console during implementation - Something worked before and stopped working - An agent did something its spec, manifest, or oversight model did not authorize (see "Agent-Originated Failures" below) Stop-the-Line Rule When anything unexpected happens during implementation: 1. STOP adding features or making further changes 2. PRESERVE evidence (error output, logs, reproduction steps) 3. DIAGNOSE using the triage checklist below 4. FIX the root cause, not the symptom 5. GUARD against recurrence with a regression test 6. RESUME only after verification passes Do not push past a failing test or broken build to work on the next feature. Errors compound. A bug in step 3 that goes unfixed makes steps 4-10 wrong. Failure Source Classification Before running the triage checklist, decide whether the failure is agent-o
